Goalies getting caught out unnecessarily does add to the fun for me too. But that wasn't the case with Rory Beggan yesterday. Monaghan were a goal down with about a minute left to play. It was shlt or bust. Of course he was right to meander up the pitch to try to add a numerical advantage. Insulting someone as being an idiot for doing so is a lot worse than what you refer to as "old-fashioned".

Rory Beggan scored 3 points in the game. One from play. Other than Paddy Lynch, that's the same return of points as the entire Cavan forward line managed in the game, subs included. And Beggan in a goalie. He's far from an idiot.

Not as far as I can see from my records which go back to 1925…..

I agree. Can be a good thing but can sometimes go wrong.

Fair play to Cavan yesterday, hungrier team and more importantly calmer. Kept themselves in the game when Monaghan should have had the wit and experience to see out the game.

I don’t think it can really be argued that Beggan’s style and ability has been anything other than a significant net positive over the years. He’s had a tremendous career. One moment or game doesn’t change that.

Grouping London and New York just because both are foreign is nonsense.

London compete year round and have no problems fulfilling fixtures.

New York on the other hand is a bit of a joke.

This. These goalies may get caught out an odd time but it doesnt make them idiots. Its part of the game plan and the teams are prepared to risk it knowing they will get caught an odd time. Odhran Lynch had a big game out the field in the league final too.

I like it as when you are playing the likes of Derry it can be costly to let them get easy kick outs etc because they can use the goalie so well in attack to create overlaps.

Oisin should get a helicopter to Portlaoise. He is on the TV from Newry at present.

Kildare with their 0 out of 7 in the League are 1/5 to beat Wicklow. I am surprised by that.

Jez, Antrim are woeful. Poor atmosphere coming across on the telly. Shocking shot selection. Yet they are only 3pt behind.

Down weren't much better. Was like a club game.

MacDanger

Dunno how Kildare didn't get a black there for that trip, could easily have given a peno too

Say Your Number

Looks like a fairly small crowd, good start for Meath.

Say Your Number

And that's probably the end of that

MacDanger

Some amount of steps allowed for that goal

TheRiverman

Steps rule blatantly ignored for Dublin goal.

robbiezero

Ridiculous refereeing. He ran through 2 players

patob

Bugsy strolling through taking 8 or 9 steps, laughable rule.

TheRiverman

"Meat" Eamon Fitzmaurice is a school teacher.

Meath hanging in there but Dubs look like they have a few gears to go through

robbiezero

Dubs in no danger but that dodgy goal is the big score of the first half. Really poor call or lack of call.

robbiezero

Absolute rubbish second half. Some waste of prime time Sunday evening championship action to be showing this muck.

Thank god for the hurling next week.

FrancieBrady

Snoozefest.

I counted 11,Lee Keegan said 12.

Any way you look at it it's a shocking call or non call,at the same time it makes no difference to the outcome.

21k at this looks terrible.

Presume that includes a few K of camogie supporters.

Awfully poor crowd, but could you blame supporters for not being arsed watching that turkey shoot.

was also ridiculous denying Dublin a stonewall penalty for the almost rugby tackle that stopped one of the Dublin forwards..who was through on goal 😉

Spillane and Tomas O Se calls them 'Meat' also. Must be a Kerry thing.

I must have missed that one. But I had mostly checked out of it after the first 20 mins. When was that?
